Chapter 2796

What's the use of a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft? It is mainly used to equip amphibious attack ships. If you look at the shape, the amphibious attack ships with comprehensive tiled deck seem very similar to aircraft carriers, but their operational purposes are completely different.

Aircraft carrier is mainly used for attack. Through a large number of weapons carried by carrier aircraft, it can intercept in the air, anti-ship, anti submarine and so on.

The amphibious assault ship has only one purpose, that is, to land across the sea and send its troops to land through its own equipment.

Among them, there are two main types of aircraft that can fly. One is jet fighter. With this aircraft, you don't need the help of aircraft carrier. You can use jet fighter to suppress fire and attack each other's beachhead positions, so as to create conditions for cross sea landing.

The other is the aircraft used to send troops. This kind of aircraft, usually helicopters, directly carry out landing operations and invest a lot of troops.

Of course, this is only the air force on the amphibious attack ship. It may also have a large number of hovercraft, amphibious tanks and other tools.

Take air weapons as an example. The jet fighter is the vertical takeoff and landing fighter being developed by 6601 Institute. Due to the size of the deck, the amphibious attack ship cannot be equipped with a sliding deck or catapult, but can only take off and land vertically.

Another one is the helicopter. The larger the helicopter, the more troops it can equip, and its existing helicopters are not of this order of magnitude.

Therefore, the research and development of large helicopters is not only used to equip aircraft carriers, but also to equip amphibious attack ships in the future. Moreover, in terms of the situation of the Han country, this amphibious attack ship is more useful, because the territory of the Han country is still complete and there is a need to recover the territory. In Qin Guan's eyes, of course, this large helicopter will be replaced by tilt rotor aircraft.

However, Qin Guan's energy was limited and he didn't care about too many aspects. Therefore, this kind of equipment was just arranged. He didn't follow up for several years. Now, I heard that good results had been achieved here. Qin Guan was very satisfied and immediately followed the young R & D team into the Research Institute.

"At present, our main task is to study its operation mechanism." Xiao Xu said to Qin Guan, "here is the result of our surveying and mapping imitation."

Qin Guan has seen two tilt rotor aircraft. On one side is the V-22 Osprey he exchanged, and on the other side is his own mapping imitation. However, when he saw the mapping results here, Qin Guan frowned. Is it so small? The two are not in the same proportion at all.

V-22 Osprey is the main tilt rotor aircraft of Eagle country. Although there were various faults at the beginning, its performance has been very stable. Especially in the war of mountain country, a large number of their materials are transported by this aircraft, showing good stability and completely mature.

If you want to transport materials, you must have enough load. This kind of transport aircraft has a fuselage length of about 20 meters, a rotor diameter of 11.6 meters and a wingspan of 15 meters. Even compared with jet aircraft, it is enough to meet the standard of our own regional aircraft of this level.

The maximum short-range takeoff weight of this aircraft is 27 tons, and the vertical takeoff and landing weight can reach 21 tons. It can hold up to 10 tons of goods. It is a good means of transportation.

But now, the imitation displayed in front of him is less than ten meters long!

The whole fuselage is not as big as the Black Hawk. Visually, its maximum takeoff weight is estimated to be less than 10 tons. What's the use of this aircraft? Can you reach its transportation capacity by mapping the imitation Black Hawk?

"Mr. Qin, although this aircraft is our mapping imitation, we have made great efforts to master its technology, especially the most complex control technology of tilt rotor. We even optimized the program and replaced it with our self-developed equipment. You can go to our cabin to have a look."

Qin Guan entered the cabin with suspicion. It is only in the early 1990s. The aircraft in most countries are still mechanical instruments. Relying on advanced electronic technology, China has realized the use of glass cockpit. At the same time, the operation has been greatly improved by a large number of equipment of electronic system.

"We know that the most difficult operation is to switch between hovering and flying. We completely use computer control, and the on-board computer carries out various calculations to ensure safety to the greatest extent." Xiao Xu said: "our aircraft has been tested many times, and it has been tested in an unmanned state. There is no problem at all."

Driverless status! Hearing this, Qin Guan was interested. What does that mean? This kind of aircraft has the potential of UAV.

"We can pre program the flight control, so that we don't need the intervention of the pilot, and then fly according to the program we have prepared. In the early stage, this can also avoid the terrible consequences of falling down," Xu continued.

This is what they young talents can do. If they were old leaders, they would never adopt this bold and radical scheme.

There must still be people in normal flight, but by that time, the safety has been tested for a long time, and there is no problem at all. If you carry out normal manned flight, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

Qin Guan listened carefully. After introducing the data one by one, Qin Guan nodded: "that is to say, this aircraft is only an experimental aircraft. After the experimental results are verified, can we make an aircraft the same size as that aircraft?"

Now this plane has too little load. It's chicken ribs.

Hearing Qin Guan's question, Xiao Xu looked embarrassed: "President Qin, we actually want to build such a large plane directly, but we don't have a qualified engine!"

Hearing this, Qin Guan was stunned. He thought they were the first to build a small technical verification machine. It turned out that there was no engine.

Although our side has made a breakthrough in fighter engines, there are still many shortcomings in China. For example, the engines for bombers have not been landed yet.

This tilt rotor aircraft uses a different power system. It uses a turboshaft engine.

Compared with Eagle country and bear country, which have rich industrial heritage, we still have great helplessness. We can only concentrate on R & D of several models, but we can't do everything. Therefore, without a qualified engine, we can make bricks without rice.

"What we can use now is the engine at hand. After repeated calculation, we have built the tilt rotor aircraft of this size. After all, the power is less than half."
